• Do not operate P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D with a voltage that is inconsistent with the rating on the product.
• Do not operate P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D above its duty cycle to avoid the risk of equipment damage or smoke hazard.
• Do not connect P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D to a 24 VDC vehicle circuit. Always connect P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D to a 12.8 VDC-15.6 VDC
vehicle circuit that is on a 15A fuse/breaker to prevent power hazards.
• Always adjust the cot load wheel height to match the vehicle deck height as specified in the Operations Manual for your
cot model.
• Always use a rail clamp assembly for all cots without the P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D option. P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D is compatible with the
P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - P P R R O O XT, P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O XT, and P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O IT cots with the P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D option only. In certain
situations, you can use P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D as a standard antler for most X-frame cots.
• Always use a P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D compatible cot with the Stryker Model 6390 P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D system. Injury may result if a
non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model 6390 P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D system.
• Always install the cot fastener system as described in this manual. Improper installation can result in injury. Make sure
that, at a minimum, your configuration is tested to meet the National Truck Equipment Association/Ambulance
Manufacturer's Division Standard 004, Litter Retention System Static Test (AMD-004).
• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when you use medical electrical equipment.
Install and place the cot fastener system into service according to the EMC information in this manual. Portable and
mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of the cot fastener system.
• Always use two installers when you lift and position the transfer and trolley assembly to avoid the risk of injury.
• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts.
• Always wear appropriate eye protection while you operate a saw. Secure the item that you are cutting and be aware of
the area around your cutting location.
• Always allow for bumper clearance. Inadequate bumper clearance could result in patient or operator injury.
• Always seal all gaps to the exterior of the vehicle to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle patient
compartment.
• Always connect P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D to a 15 A fuse/resettable breaker that is installed in the vehicle to prevent electrical
hazards. Stryker recommends that you install the fuse/resettable breaker in the fuse box.
• Do not connect P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D to a 24V DC vehicle circuit.
• Always make sure of P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D functionality before use. Failure may result in patient or operator injury.
• Always use caution when you move around in the vehicle patient compartment to avoid tripping on P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D .
• Always use caution when you operate P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D in adverse weather conditions (for example, rain, ice, snow).
•
Always operate the cot or P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in powered
cot or P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D mechanisms can cause serious injury.
